MOFFATT, James

MOFFATT, James
(1922-1993)
   Canadian-born UK writer who wrote at least 290 novels in several genres under at least 45 pseudonyms, including the Hank JANSON house name (though not in that case for sf) and Richard Allen, a personal pseudonym for the non-sf Skin books. In the 1960s he wrote the first chapter of a novel which, when taken over by Michael MOORCOCK according to a practice very common in UK pulp publishing, became Somewhere in the Night (1966) as by Moorcock. JM's sf novels under his own name - othersmay exist - are The Sleeping Bomb (1970; vt The Cambri Plot 1973 US), which was the first volume in an otherwise non-sf series starring Silas Manners, and Queen Kong (1977), spoofing KING KONG from a feminist pointof view.
